My wife & I recently each bought 45 liter travel bags for a 3-week trip to Europe. We both really like the quality and organizational capabilities. We did a lot of research and settled on this one. HOWEVER.... on the first day & leg of our journey, I lost the chest strap. I have no idea when or how - maybe taking the pack off or putting it on? I made sure to properly secure it to the shoulder strap. Normally, this wouldn't be much of a problem, but these packs really need the chest strap to keep the shoulder straps from sliding outward. Adding insult to injury, my wife's fell off as well, but I was able to see it fall on the floor. Everything else here is a really nice pack 5-star pack, but the chest strap needs to be permanently secured to one of the shoulder straps! Hence, 4 stars. Hopefully, the designers read this....
I bought this bag for a 10 day trip in Europe. It easily fitted in all my stuff, with a bit of room to spare. I was travelling about by plane and bus and it was comfortable to carry and I had no issues with taking it as carryon with Ryanair. The quality of the bag is excellent and the features are all well thought out. I received several compliments from people on how the bag looked too.
Great bag but not wide enough in the laptop sleeve

Excellent bag overall. Well made, lots of pockets, lots of room, and the expandable compartments is hella handy. But the width of the pack was just a bit too narrow to fit a 17" laptop in the sleeve, which were my needs. 15" should fit fine, as advertised, but I wanted to see if the largest backpack in the line could fit a 17"-er, and it was just slightly too small in the sleeve, even though the bag itself physically had enough width.
I used to travel with a backpack and a wheely bag, or a backpack and a small duffle on short trips--now I have one bag that does it all! I've only had it a month and have used it a couple times already. It fits overhead and below the seat in front of you. Great for a 3-4 day trip. It is large for a backpack--I'm a 5'5 lady and it feels kinda huge on me, but the straps are adjustable so it is comfortable enough even when it is heavy.
I bought this pack for a trip to the UK where I needed to be fast and light and I can’t believe how happy I’ve been with it. I want to use it for everything now. It’s built so well, looks extremely stylish yet rugged, and has so many smart features.
My first hike with the 45 L Travelbag was on a warm day on a strenuous route. I found it comfortable and rode well. It didn't rain but I sweat through the bag and items in the lower front inside the bag were damp . Therefore I ordered the rain cover as I suspect things would get damper still in a downpour. That won't cover my back and things may still get damp from sweat or a downpour that runs down your back.
